And one of those additions, big man Jusuf Nurkic, has already ended up showing out in a big way through a limited sample size that's gained some considerable attention from his head coach, Will Hardy.

The Phoenix Suns have dropped their last three games, all on the road, after winning their season opener at home.

Fifth-overall pick Ace Bailey has gotten his feet wet with some NBA regular season minutes amid the first two games of the Utah Jazz' s campaign, where they've wound up with an even 1-1 record in the books.

The Utah Jazz aren't exactly title contenders, but at least they’ll try to win when and what they can this year. That's a step in the right direction, Tribune columnist Gordon Monson writes.

The Jazz open the season Wednesday night at home, kicking off another year of development, speculation, and hopefully just enough chaos to keep things compelling.

In those healthy preseason games, Bailey averaged 22.5 points, 6.5 rebounds, and 2 assists per game on 65.5% from the floor and 40% from three-point range. In the regular season, those numbers are 1.0 points, 3.0 rebounds, and 1.5 assists per game.

Lauri Markkanen’s 51-point, 14-rebound performance pushed the Jazz to an overtime win over the Phoenix Suns on Monday. To get his first career 50-point game, Markkanen shot 14-for-32 from the field, including 6-of-13 from deep. He also made 17 free throws.
